How does creating an electric car produce electricity?
It doesn't, an electric car uses electricity
What percentage of the world's electricity is generated by electric power?
100% of electricity is electrical power.
Bad or good electric car?
It depends upon how the electric car is powered. If its fuel comes from burning coal, the car is not so great for our environment. However, if the electricity generated to power the car comes from wind, solar, geothermal, or hydroelectric, it is much better.
What does hydro-electricity do?
Hyro-electricity is the same as any other electricity. the Hydro- prefix merely denotes how the electricity was generated, in this case it was generated at a hydro-electric plant which uses the potential energy of elevated water to generate electricity.
What kind of fuel does an electric car use?
Electricity, Hence the name "electric car"...
How does a solar car move?
A solar car moves by using electricity generated from solar panels to power an electric motor. The solar panels capture energy from the sun and convert it to electricity, which is then used to propel the vehicle forward. The more sunlight the panels receive, the more energy they can generate to move the car.
What are u doing about the electric car?
The problem with electric cars is, where does the electricity come from to charge them up? Most electricity is generated by burning coal or oil. Some is hydroelectric, and some is generated by burning natural gas. If you are burning oil or natural gas to generate electricity for your electric car, you are WASTING half of it; it would be better to carry the oil or natural gas with you, and use it for fuel. The only electricity source that really makes sense for electric cars is something that cannot be made portable, and produces less total pollution that burning gas; nuclear or hydroelectric powerplants. Unfortunately, there isn't nearly enough nuclear or hydro power to waste on electric cars.
Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
Is heat gas or electric?
Heat can be generated using both gas and electric sources. Gas heat is produced by burning natural gas or propane, while electric heat is generated by passing electricity through a heating element.
What is solar electricity?
Electricity generated by the sun with the use of Solar Panels. They use Solar cells to convert sun light into electric energy
Do you have to plug a hybrid car in to recharge?
Certain hybrid cars that are electric have the option of a plug in charger. Others simply use excess electricity generated by the combustion engine to charge the battery itself.
How is heat electricity generated?
Heat electricity is generated through a process called thermoelectric conversion, where heat energy is converted into electrical energy using materials that can produce an electric current when exposed to a temperature difference.
